Consumer Description

WHEN STOPPED TO REFUEL, THE OUTSIDE TANK WOULD NOT OPEN, EVEN WITH THE TRUNK "FUEL DOOR RELEASE". THERE WAS SOMETHING BURNING, MY HUSBAND PULLED BACK THE TRUNK LINER AND FOUND A PART "R4060" ALSO STAMPED "52713" AND ELECTRICAL PART BEST GUESS 5044678 AS IT IS PARTLY MELTED. THE DEFECTIVE PART IS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL LINE. WE HAVE TAKEN ARE CAR IN FOR THE RECALLS RELATING TO THE FUEL LINE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A FUEL RELATED EXPLOSION AT THE TIME OF FUELING OR AFTER IT WAS SAT IN OUR GARAGE. REQUESTING INVESTIGATION, WE DISCONNECTED THE HALF MELTED PART WHICH EXPOSES THE INSIDE MATERIALS. WE WENT TO THE RECALL WEBSITE TO CHECK IF THIS WAS A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED, NOT CLEAR. *JB
